Hi! I’m new too and was sleeved dec 1 - I’m miserable! I’m usually able to positive self talk my way through most things but holy *%#!!!! Basically I’m still having to stay in bed most of the time, going to sit in a chair to sip premiere shakes and protein water and water, and walking gently around the bedroom clutching my upper left torso to stop it jiggling around, which feels like I’m being ripped open. Today I shrieked like a lunatic banshee because I raise my left knee too quickly trying to change into fresh pjs. I’d love some tips for getting through this too I am binging Hallmark holiday movies and shopping on thredUP and Poshmark for smaller clothes in an attempt to stay positive. I spent ages researching this and needed it and I know this phase shall pass. I’m just quite keen on knowing exactly WHEN?!?! I think I was a bit delusional about how quickly I’d recover from this. It’s a lot and I can’t whine to my friends as I’ve only told one of them. Anyway, I jumped online today to find some fellow sleevers foR mutual support - it’s nice knowing I’m not alone and just think - we will all be emerging next spring like gorgeous butterflies…

Mine was dec 1 and I’m feeling way more pain than I’d anticipated! It’s hard to walk around. Surgeon thinks a stitch in the muscle may have trapped a nerve and says I just have to take a ton of pain killers until the stiches dissolve. Ugh. I’ve had a bunch of surgeries in the last couple of years and hadn’t had many problems so I’m feeling sorry for myself . Anyone else in the same boat?
